SV: String Splice Time

[Clyde Hollinger]

Ola,

     A half hour seems like a long time for tying a string, except maybe for one of those low
bass strings that usually make me mad.
     If I felt the string broke a second time because I did a poor job, I might try again.
But the problem can be that the wire has turned too brittle, in which case I would use a
different string.
     I once tried to service an upright well over a century old.  You couldn't do *anything*
with the strings or they would snap.  The piano wasn't worth saving, so the owners took it
outside and cremated it.

Regards,
Clyde
